COLOMBIA: Brother Anselmo

"The history of the last ten years in
Colombia is full of Luis Ignacio Andrade," said the magazine Semana
last week. And for all those years, Andrade was a name that sent chills
up thousands of Colombian spines. In 1949, the police under his
Ministry of Government slaughtered Liberals by the hundreds, scared the
rest from the polls, and imposed a Conservative President in a
one-party election. When many backlands Liberals turned into guerrillas
and vengefully killed his cops, Andrade publicly proposed to "shoot ten
prominent Liberal politicians for every dead policeman."
